My wishlist as an A7 IV owner: - Faster readout sensor (stacked would be great but not expecting them to do it) - 40 megapixels - Higher res LCD & EVF - Maybe newer, better battery? - A7R V screen (I really hate the flip out screen when it comes to photography which I mainly do, just give us both) - 4K 60fps no crop - Better Active Stabalization (I don't mind if it crops more, just give us an "Extreme" option) - Better software update support, I hope Sony learns from Nikon, Canon & Fuji. - AI stuff, maybe a new processor? - Ability to Auto choose between different AF modes (train, car, bird, human etc) without having to manually choose one or the other. - Higher dynamic range - Better JPEG simulations (something that Fujifilm cameras are really good at), or at least give us the option to import our own filter recipe's like Ricoh does. Can't think of anymore but we just want a worthwhile upgrade. This is possible Sony's most popular camera out of all of them, so Sony, please give us what we want & need.
What I'd like for the A75: NO CROP 4K50p, the all-way-tilt screen from the A7R5 and A9III, the AI autofocus, shutter angle, waveform monitor/false color, internal monitoring luts, wifi tether. Less or no rolling shutter (the A9III global shutter, I really wouldn't mind having 24mp in the A75). Opengate and support for anamorphic would be nice to have, but not a dealbreaker if it doesn't. A comfortable grip, to be great quality, super reliable and all that, but Sony's been pretty good in that department, hope they keep it up. Oh yeah...recipes (like Fuji) would be nice / lr template/preset support for the photography side even lut support. That would also be dope.
2year owner of the A7IV. Surprised by how my Fujifilm XS20, being cheaper, offers more options in video (ProRes RAW and BRAW external, better IS, no crop at 4K60, OpenGate. To be worth an upgrade, I want OpenGate, external recording, SSD option to use like Blackmagic. 6K video. In Photography, they are more than fine already.
@@Princejp-m6k In video the A7V is better in Crop mode sooooo... It has less rolling shutter in crop than full frame. XS20 is above the A7IV. I have the a7IV and ibis stabilization is the most deceptive feature of sony cameras.
Jared Polin had a video about a year ago where he compared the A7IV to the Canon R6II and R8, and I think Sony will have been looking closely at that kind of competitive analysis internally. The A7V definitely deserves to have higher burst rates for photography, among other things.
I have been using the A7 IV for 3 years. I was previously using the A7R III(A). And my expectations are exactly as follows; - The sensor will probably remain the same. So I don't expect any changes. - Higher shooting speed (15-20FPS) - No slowdown in RAW shooting - Cropless shooting in 4K 60P - 3-Way rear LCD screen (like the A7RV) - Better LCD screen resolution - Higher Viewfinder resolution - The processor will probably remain the same but the AI chip will be added. - More object recognition and processing features (like the A7RV) - Improved ISO performance and Video performance - Dual CF-Express slot Apart from these, there will be no more features. Frankly, I only shoot photos. I have no business with videos. I don't know if it would make sense for someone who only shoots photos to switch to the A7V. Generally, when you buy a new body, you don't need to go through at least 2 more generations.
Probably getting a faster readout, and a higher resolution rear LCD screen. I'm pretty sure it will do 4K 60 full width readout and 4K120 with a crop, better "Ai" autofocus is a given. I feel it will be a small upgrade from the A7iv, better sure but probably not a massive improvement.
All the little already existing new tech things mentioned smashed into it as a part-bin-grab will make it an outstanding upgrade. That's precisely why I skipped the A7IV - it just wasn't enough to entice me to part with hard-earned cash. The A7III still takes amazing pictures and I'm not even close to exhausting it's capabilities.
Sony A7IV and SIII owner, I'm so happy with these two babies and so are my clients. I don't think I need any more features but the new one does sound really nice, thank you for the video :)
There is a tension between the compromises required for both the stills and cine side on this "all rounder". i'm a heavily stills shooter so the top of my list (assuming no *worse* sensor in DR/ISO terms) are: 1) IBIS stabilization improvement, 2) larger body/grip clearances for "real" full frame fast/long lenses; and 3) EVF improvements. You missed the last two. I suppose that A7RV-level EVF may be too much, but both pixels and magnification improvements would be appreciated much too. And, sure, sensor read-out improvements (which doesn't require stacking) to get a "true" 10fps performance (without the lagging "slilde show") also would be welcome. But that is it really. -- gary ray
Love my A7IV I bought it originally because my Sony ZVE one kept on overheating for RUclips head shots and ended up sticking with it. The image quality is amazing and the full size HDMI ports is handy. I don’t utilise it to its full potential but it’s an amazing camera.
-USC-c SSD support -Prores or BRAW features -open gate -6K 60p (no crop) -Ai AF -~30mpx with mechanical shutter -Fast stacked sensor -Shutter angle -Anamorphic modes with IBIS It needs to be solid with video features since thats whats expected from a modern hybrid mirrorless.
open gate would be useful for when a client wants both social media content and a longer video. i feel like no crop 4k50p, better OSS and ai unit are out of question, these upgrades will 100% be present on the a7v. the a7rv screen i'm not so sure about because we only got it on a9iii. both a7cr and a7cii could've had it but they chose not to. that's why it leads me to believe this screen is reserved for high-end cameras. other useful things such as shutter angle, monitoring luts, waveforms, etc. can be added via firmware updates to all of the new cameras so it would be strange to leave out. giving it a faster readout would also be amazing, as well as much better overheating performance
Me as a person who wanted to buy a7 iv, i want in a7 v Better rolling shutter(27ms when z6 iii does 11 is crazy.) 4k60 no crop oversampled(come on, its 2500$ price range) 4k120(cropped maybe) Same pixel count would be fine but I need at least 20fps, and fix that issue with 12 bit compressed raw in high rates Maybe something like prores or b-raw at 6k Vertical flip menu Higher resolution for both LCD and EVF The main thing is rolling shutter. It cant be more than 10ms. If it gets 11ms - unworthy of upgrade
i just bought an A7IV NEW for the ridiculous price of 1800 bucks and still have to test the AF, it did good with an FE 85mm 1.8 at a store but tomorrow may be when the la-ea5 arrives and I can eventually go hunt them birds. I know I sound like coping, but i've had an A77II since 2016 and I'm a hobbyist that loves more the moment before taking a photo than the photos themselves, just the pleasure of twirling dials and pressing buttons and hear a loud T'KLAK that shakes the camera is just therapeutic for me. I hope I can stay with my new camera for 8 or more years! after all we likely reached the plateau of technological improvements. Also holy damn your hands are massive 1:23
The 4 has been a good B-cam to the S3. What I need is 4k60 without a crop on the 5. That's the whole reason I bought the S3. If the 5 has 4k60 with no crop and minimal rolling shorter distortion, I'll buy one. However, if it still has rolling shutter distortion, I'll just go with the FX3. I need a third camera that dies video primarily. The 4 is all I need for photography. Sure, the R5 is great but I never found myself cropping in so much that I needed the extra resolution before the image started to fall apart.
When the A7iv came out I was so excited then I got it…. I shoot a lot in 60p and then I payed for a full from camera that is a ASPC camera. I sold it. Hopefully the new one will be better
4k60p no crop (I don't need 120) and not pixel binned, faster sensor readout, _at least_ 40mp to keep up with Canon and Nikon (33MP is a deal-breaker) and not step on the R series' toes, AI autofocus chip, medium MP mode (like 20 or 18mp), A7RV screen and EVF, improved IBIS. If it doesn't do the stacked sensor/global sensor thing then just make the readout significantly better for video. Keep the CF-A slot, the ability to shoot dual SD cards is a huge bonus over Canon and Nikon's CF-B. No anti-aliasing and don't compromise low-light performance or dynamic range.
I definitely agree with you on everything - I am looking forward to the A7V - I think Opengate 6k, and shutter-angle would be great - along with the ZLOG - I love using the LUMIX S5iiX and various other cameras like the FUJI XH2S on a movie I am making, but the one thing that the other cameras do not have is lightning fast accurate autofocus like the A7IV. I think if the A7V has all that and gives it to us at the usual price of say £2500 that would be great. If the A7V is not going to offer above 4k recording, then SONY should re-evaluate its pricing and give it to us for under well under £2000.
The comments here are pretty consistent. The fast readout is effectively what we all want. Otherwise the a9iii screen and the A7RV IBIS+Dynamic stabilisation. Nice to haves would be Open gate but I doubt they would do that. LUTs would definitely be a thing. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony copies that from Lumix. I also would love a better screen. That's me.
I just need 15+ FPS mechanical shooting, 4k 60 no crop, 4k 120 (crop) and faster readout (that bending is notorious). 24MP is enough if that’s the compromise to get these specs. Everything else is a bonus.
I’ve had almost every Sony camera since the NEX range and have never had an overheating problem.The problem is that all those RUclipsrs film a 30-40 minute video with the camera running nonstop.
Hopefully not. I still am trying to get used to the idea that it has 33mp right now. I wish they stuck with 24 like the A7III and the A9III. That's the sweet spot for video and photo and it could also benefit from the global shutter on the A9III at that megapixel count. If I'd want it for photography mostly, sure 50mp might be fine although for burst photos/weddings,etc you'd have massive files that you wouldn't really need to be that big. If you really want high megapixel count you've got the A7R5.
Here are the things they will likely add realistically in this range. Improved autofocus. Improved colour science. Faster readout. No crop 4k60. LUTs, Presets, improved menu. AI, vertical menu flip. Here’s things I’d like to see. Better WB accuracy. Smaller form factor. Better heat management. Built in BT audio receiver. Built in flash trigger. 7 stop IBIS, faster wake, tiltable screen.
PERFECT HYBRID: give us a canon r5c body similar with the fan, 6k recording, 4k60 full, 15fps in photos, better rolling shutter, ai autofocus, higher resolution screen..theirs a lot of features their gonna save for the fx3 ii or fx4
The A7V will be an incredible money-spinner for Sony - all they have to do is dig into the parts bin and smash all the latest tech into it with very, very little more research and development! It's just the sensor that needs some work - but it already exists in the A1 and the new 44Mp sensor so another one with 33Mp or 36Mp will be a doddle. Most people have already listed all the existing improvements that they desire so Sony just have to bring it all together. I agree with Jason. What I'd like to see is a straight-forward 8K, 24/25fps video with the ability to grab a still at will - hybrid shooters will absolutely love it. No need for 8K at 50/60p - 4K is enough for that.
Really wish Sony gave the ability to shoot 1080p over sampled from 4k. Would be really good for us people who shoot tons of video without having to waste tons of money on storage. Another flaw they have with all cameras including flagships such as the latest a9 and a1 is their flimsy mode dial design. When the camera is disassembled, these mode dials are held by only two screws which overtime get loose and cause random mode change shifts. This can be easily fixed by adding 2 more screws to hold this dial in place or extending the rotating the rotating switch on the flex cable that gets activated by the rotation of the mode dial. They should really do something about this and I feel RUclips creators should put an emphasis on long term hardware issues that plague the Sony cameras
High rate burst mode for uncompressed raw would nice, 4k 60 NO crop would be pretty cool as well, maybe a fully stacked sensi if they’re feeling generous would be awesome
I’ve got a sneaky feeling that it’s the A1ii that will come from Sony first. With the A7v following on next year early quarter, it makes the most sense 👀.
on a7iii from last 5 years, want a7v 2 have 3 main things stabilization 7 stops atleast, 8 nothing like it. second a good evf and a 3.2 inch good real flippy screen like a7rV, rest all is fine
I think I’ll be compelled this year, I’m still rocking my A7iii, but need to upgrade my laptop before my camera tho as I don’t feel like my camera holds me back but editing time does seem to drag due to slowness of the computer. Maybe an expensive year.
My list of features that would make me sell my A7IV would be no 4K60 crop, better stabilization, the new flip screens from the A7R5, and 6K Open Gate. Insta buy
I have two A7ivs and absolutely love them. However, I've had them overheat even with the overheating setting turned to high. I do live in Arizona where it's well over 100 degrees F quite often. I did buy the ulanzi cooling fans and they do seem to help a little.
Hey😊, I had a ZV e10 for my first 2 years of videography and content creation and I think I used it to the limit(i hate the 8bit, the low light and the stabilization issues). Thats why I'm about to buy an upgrade and I'm struggling to decide between fx30 zve1 and A7c2. I do know all the specs already but still not sure about what to pick. The fx30 is more reliable and marketed as a small fx3. I would get the fx3 if I had the money for it (so not for now). Then the zve1 has better stability and way better low light performance and dynamic range but seems to overheat. Also I don't need so many vlogging features like cinemativ mode or easy to use overlay and the question is if more low light is more important than having more lights with the fx30. I do know my craft to some degree by now. Do you have a good advice? I know with good lighting everything can look good also apsc but buying and carrying these lights is also to consider. And there are also the a7cii and a7iv with other cons. Thank you for you good videos in gernerall by the way 😊I hope you can help me. (I'm definitely video first person, and I do videos style like gawx and life if riza)
I'm pretty confident the a7v will have really fast readout and at least 20fps electronic shutter. When the a7iv came out, they couldn't add that because it would've instantly killed the 4500$ a9ii which only did 20fps. Now that the a9iii is out and the a1ii is almost out, there's no chance putting 20fps in the a7v will compete with the speed offered by those.
I am depending on A7R5 and A7 Mark 5. So, waiting until this camera would be great if Sony continued to have all the other features would be great! But, the cropping is a pain.
I think the A74 was the camera that made the others take notice and create/build better newer cameras to compete with the A74,i got mine boxing week of 2021 the first week it was available, maybe they just haven't used the sensor to its full capability and could continue to capitalize on it like a bit of better video and more fps for fast sports or bird photography, I think 12-15 fps in full RAW would be awesome, it only does 6 or 7 fps raw now, fix up the rolling shutter some how would be great, I have no issue with the auto focus or tracking so far, I would love to upgrade to the new A75 body , i just do not think i need it currently and if it comes with most of the new features that everyone in the comments and the youtube world want it will not be cheap and everybody will wine about the price , you want new features you pay up, the original A74 price in Canada was $3299.00plus taxes so this new A75 could be $3700.00 which is a good price for all the features everyone wants and will pay the price 👍great video Jason
4k60 no crop. 45mp. cfxpress. Super 35/CMZ. Swivel screen. Touchscreen. full HDMi port. Cinetone 10bit. IBIS. Ventilation to prevent overheating. Discard 30 min recording. Internal ND Filter. At the least if it's gong to be $3k price range
My wishlist based on my A7 IV: 1. Better Display 2. BETTER Display 3. BETTER DISPLAY!!! 4. Stable Wireless Tethering with PC/Smartphone 5. Improved Autofocus (should be no brainer) 6. Global Shutter (just to get rid of big flashes)
I just switched to sony not long ago and i have 2 of the a7cii i am very happy with them and the plan in to get 2 of the a75 to go along with them i do weddings photography and videography and this setup is plenty
Faster readout BSI 24mp, 33mp means you’d have to put in a stacked sensor aka like the A9ii, for rolling shutter sensors the smaller megapixel ones will always have a faster readout if all the tech behind it is equal or similar, people here aren’t understanding the tech behind it. In summary, unless Sony found a way to reduce the cost of making stacked sensors, its gonna be several orders more expensive than the A74.
Actually A7IV with faster sensor read out will be quite enough to convince me and a lot of other Sony user as well as believe. This will ultimately mean: 4k/60 no crop and of course no line skipping or BP, 20FPS for stills. Actually I do not care much if it is 24mp or 33mp. What would be more interesting is whether it is going to have different base iso for SLOG3 - (800/3200) I would like to see (800/6400) if this is the case I'd sell my ZV-E1 and just stick to the A7 V as a good hybrid. If not I'd rather keep my ZV-E1 for low light ISO 12800 capabilities.
4k60 4k120 with no crop would be awesome and the AI that's in the 6700 would be great. Shutter angel would be huge too, Sony has to come up with the goods as Lumix is fast catching up. With their open gate and recording to ssd, also Lumix cost is way under Sony's. I'm so tempted to moving back to Lumix next year. One other thing is Lumix puts out so much more than Sony when it comes to firmware up dated on their camera's. As for Sony they rather you buy the upgraded camera body, that's just not good enough !!
I think most of what you mentioned will be in there judging from the a7cii that came couple of years after the a74 if we think of it as a sequence then the new a75 will be a combination of the a74 and the features of the a7cii such as the AI plus (hopefully) the fully articulated higher resolution screen) and I will be happy just with that to be honest if they add an open gate and/or a no crop 4K i would chuck a party
Must have at a MIN, 4k120, Pre Capture, and at the very least, a Blackout-Free, 5760k-Dot EVF. Otherwise it's already light years behind what everyone else will be doing in their Next Camera Releases.
My son is in college and is taking photography and wants to do it professionally.. I want to get him a really great camera not sure if the a7v is going to be better then a7rv.. i was about to purchase the a7rv today ..I don’t know much about cameras if you could please help me
Sony a7 v will not be better than a7 rv. that thing is a beast. a7 v is lower price range line. it could be on pair in videography department but for photography a7 rv is impossible to beat.
You know how I know the A7V is gonna be a great camera? Because the A7IV was a great camera, they'll only add some features to keep everyone exited that most of us don't even need.
right now the A7RV is a 61mp camera primarily focus on pictures, the low light ability and dynamic range is lower and the read-out speed is slower because of the focus on megapixels. the A7iv (and probably A7V) is a 33mp camera which is better has a hybrid camera because it has better low light/dynamic range and rolling shutter speed
Starting with an A7SIII makes it hard to stomach anything higher than 8.7ms rolling shutter. Heck, I wasn't even fully satisfied with A7SIII rolling shutter performance. It is good, but far from perfection (A9III). I also have an A7Rv which has horrendous rolling shutter in some modes like crop mode 4K@24fps and 8K.
@@JojoJoget Maybe I made a documentary film using 4K@120fps at extreme macro of a total of 7x and had some jello effect issues? Also the Venice 2 is less than 3ms. It's truth, just depends if it affects you or not. Nothing beats global shutter, and I don't own one... yet. Rolling shutter of the A7SIII earns 4.5 stars, and for A7Rv at binned 4K at 15ms it's 4 stars. Something like 8K or 4K cropped at around 30ms that's simply 2.5-3 stars.
@@vorjay Maybe it's time to go full stacked in all their sensors. They make stacked sensors for Panasonic then they just undercut them. Same goes with Nikon. If they can undercut you, then sure you can do even better for your own cameras.
Estou juntando dinheiro pra comprar uma.. mas estou na dúvida entre a Sony A7iV e a Panasonic Lumix s5IIx! E aí, qual é a híbrida melhor pra trabalhos de fotos (quadros) e vídeos (institucionais)?
Sony fkd up when they listened to those complaining about wanting a higher mp sensor in the a7 iv. For fk sake, if y’all want a higher MP. Get the A7 R series and stop botching the A7 series. We got a higher MP count in exchange for what? Worse rolling shutter, worse mechanical fps, overheating, and the list goes on. All they had to do was make speed, color, efficiency, and more functionality improvements and the A7 IV would have been really good. The A9 III literally has 24 MP and is a really good camera and Sony really dropped the ball by not implementing such mentality when designing the A7 IV. Car manufacturers and build the biggest most powerful engines but what good is it if the rest of the components can’t even handle the power, heat, and stress caused by the engine? In this case, what’s the point in Sony putting in a higher MP sensor if the rest of the camera can’t even keep up (i.e. cooling, reading out the sensor fast enough, rolling shutter, mechanical fps, buffer, etc.)
Just give me 4k60 no crop, a better screen, new Ai stuff, dynamic active stabilization with less than 30% crop and better low light capabilities.

Hopefully going to be a good option for us A7 IV users
Me as a person who wanted to buy a7 iv, i want in a7 v
Better rolling shutter(27ms when z6 iii does 11 is crazy.)
4k60 no crop oversampled(come on, its 2500$ price range)
4k120(cropped maybe)
Same pixel count would be fine but
I need at least 20fps, and fix that issue with 12 bit compressed raw in high rates
Maybe something like prores or b-raw at 6k
Vertical flip menu
Higher resolution for both LCD and EVF
The main thing is rolling shutter. It cant be more than 10ms. If it gets 11ms - unworthy of upgrade
i just bought an A7IV NEW for the ridiculous price of 1800 bucks and still have to test the AF, it did good with an FE 85mm 1.8 at a store but tomorrow may be when the la-ea5 arrives and I can eventually go hunt them birds. I know I sound like coping, but i've had an A77II since 2016 and I'm a hobbyist that loves more the moment before taking a photo than the photos themselves, just the pleasure of twirling dials and pressing buttons and hear a loud T'KLAK that shakes the camera is just therapeutic for me. I hope I can stay with my new camera for 8 or more years! after all we likely reached the plateau of technological improvements. Also holy damn your hands are massive 1:23
The 4 has been a good B-cam to the S3. What I need is 4k60 without a crop on the 5. That's the whole reason I bought the S3. If the 5 has 4k60 with no crop and minimal rolling shorter distortion, I'll buy one. However, if it still has rolling shutter distortion, I'll just go with the FX3. I need a third camera that dies video primarily. The 4 is all I need for photography. Sure, the R5 is great but I never found myself cropping in so much that I needed the extra resolution before the image started to fall apart.
When the A7iv came out I was so excited then I got it…. I shoot a lot in 60p and then I payed for a full from camera that is a ASPC camera. I sold it. Hopefully the new one will be better
Hopefully A7 V is going to be a good option for us current A7 IV users
4k60p no crop (I don't need 120) and not pixel binned, faster sensor readout, _at least_ 40mp to keep up with Canon and Nikon (33MP is a deal-breaker) and not step on the R series' toes, AI autofocus chip, medium MP mode (like 20 or 18mp), A7RV screen and EVF, improved IBIS. If it doesn't do the stacked sensor/global sensor thing then just make the readout significantly better for video. Keep the CF-A slot, the ability to shoot dual SD cards is a huge bonus over Canon and Nikon's CF-B. No anti-aliasing and don't compromise low-light performance or dynamic range.
I definitely agree with you on everything - I am looking forward to the A7V - I think Opengate 6k, and shutter-angle would be great - along with the ZLOG - I love using the LUMIX S5iiX and various other cameras like the FUJI XH2S on a movie I am making, but the one thing that the other cameras do not have is lightning fast accurate autofocus like the A7IV. I think if the A7V has all that and gives it to us at the usual price of say £2500 that would be great. If the A7V is not going to offer above 4k recording, then SONY should re-evaluate its pricing and give it to us for under well under £2000.
My A7IV overheated on a set twice and on a wedding. If not for the overheating, I was happy. Switched last year for a S5IIX and didn't looked back.
Setup - Power Setting Option - Auto Power OFF Temp - Change to High. Never overhead with this again.
@@GiangNguyen-ic7qxDon't worry, it was already set when I received my cam but thanks for the advice.
The comments here are pretty consistent.
The fast readout is effectively what we all want.
Otherwise the a9iii screen and the A7RV IBIS+Dynamic stabilisation.
Nice to haves would be Open gate but I doubt they would do that.
LUTs would definitely be a thing. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony copies that from Lumix.
I also would love a better screen.
That's me.
I just need 15+ FPS mechanical shooting, 4k 60 no crop, 4k 120 (crop) and faster readout (that bending is notorious). 24MP is enough if that’s the compromise to get these specs. Everything else is a bonus.
All I want is 20 FPS or faster shooting considering the R6 III will get 30, that should be a goal of Sony as well.
I’ve had almost every Sony camera since the NEX range and have never had an overheating problem.The problem is that all those RUclipsrs film a 30-40 minute video with the camera running nonstop.
Seriously..... as an A7IV owner... this will be Day 1 for me especially if we get 25+ FPS and at least 50MP with some awesome sensor
Hopefully not. I still am trying to get used to the idea that it has 33mp right now. I wish they stuck with 24 like the A7III and the A9III. That's the sweet spot for video and photo and it could also benefit from the global shutter on the A9III at that megapixel count. If I'd want it for photography mostly, sure 50mp might be fine although for burst photos/weddings,etc you'd have massive files that you wouldn't really need to be that big. If you really want high megapixel count you've got the A7R5.
Here are the things they will likely add realistically in this range.
Improved autofocus. Improved colour science. Faster readout. No crop 4k60. LUTs, Presets, improved menu. AI, vertical menu flip.
Here’s things I’d like to see. Better WB accuracy. Smaller form factor. Better heat management. Built in BT audio receiver. Built in flash trigger. 7 stop IBIS, faster wake, tiltable screen.
PERFECT HYBRID: give us a canon r5c body similar with the fan, 6k recording, 4k60 full, 15fps in photos, better rolling shutter, ai autofocus, higher resolution screen..theirs a lot of features their gonna save for the fx3 ii or fx4
The A7V will be an incredible money-spinner for Sony - all they have to do is dig into the parts bin and smash all the latest tech into it with very, very little more research and development! It's just the sensor that needs some work - but it already exists in the A1 and the new 44Mp sensor so another one with 33Mp or 36Mp will be a doddle.
Most people have already listed all the existing improvements that they desire so Sony just have to bring it all together. I agree with Jason.
What I'd like to see is a straight-forward 8K, 24/25fps video with the ability to grab a still at will - hybrid shooters will absolutely love it. No need for 8K at 50/60p - 4K is enough for that.
Really wish Sony gave the ability to shoot 1080p over sampled from 4k. Would be really good for us people who shoot tons of video without having to waste tons of money on storage. Another flaw they have with all cameras including flagships such as the latest a9 and a1 is their flimsy mode dial design. When the camera is disassembled, these mode dials are held by only two screws which overtime get loose and cause random mode change shifts. This can be easily fixed by adding 2 more screws to hold this dial in place or extending the rotating the rotating switch on the flex cable that gets activated by the rotation of the mode dial. They should really do something about this and I feel RUclips creators should put an emphasis on long term hardware issues that plague the Sony cameras
High rate burst mode for uncompressed raw would nice, 4k 60 NO crop would be pretty cool as well, maybe a fully stacked sensi if they’re feeling generous would be awesome
I’ve got a sneaky feeling that it’s the A1ii that will come from Sony first. With the A7v following on next year early quarter, it makes the most sense 👀.
I’m imagining a stacked sensor
on a7iii from last 5 years, want a7v 2 have 3 main things stabilization 7 stops atleast, 8 nothing like it. second a good evf and a 3.2 inch good real flippy screen like a7rV, rest all is fine
I really would like lovecto see pre- capture function on this and other low and middle price Sony cameras.
Full Frame 4K 60, faster readout sensor, Dual CF express card slots, Higher res EVF, 6K 30fps?
@@GhosTigre even 6k 24 is fine for a start
@@Creative.visionzz I say 6K 30fps with like a 1.2 or 1.4 crop. Social media standard
@@GhosTigre ok yeah I could agree with that
I think I’ll be compelled this year, I’m still rocking my A7iii, but need to upgrade my laptop before my camera tho as I don’t feel like my camera holds me back but editing time does seem to drag due to slowness of the computer. Maybe an expensive year.
rolling shutter and lack of video feature updates was the reason I sold my a7IV and got an fx3.
I would’ve but I need the photo capabilities
I honestly think it’s going to be the greatest Sony camera ever
please now that you have the S5ii can you test it against the FX3
As a a7rii owner can’t wait to get the 7v in my hands. Just a little bit more of patience 😅
Sold my camera early this year anticipating a75.
We need a pre-capture feature like in the Canon R5II.
about overheating: Everybody forget about the sd card, it overheats when the card is not fast enough
My list of features that would make me sell my A7IV would be no 4K60 crop, better stabilization, the new flip screens from the A7R5, and 6K Open Gate. Insta buy
I have two A7ivs and absolutely love them. However, I've had them overheat even with the overheating setting turned to high. I do live in Arizona where it's well over 100 degrees F quite often. I did buy the ulanzi cooling fans and they do seem to help a little.
Hey😊,
I had a ZV e10 for my first 2 years of videography and content creation and I think I used it to the limit(i hate the 8bit, the low light and the stabilization issues). Thats why I'm about to buy an upgrade and I'm struggling to decide between fx30 zve1 and A7c2. I do know all the specs already but still not sure about what to pick. The fx30 is more reliable and marketed as a small fx3. I would get the fx3 if I had the money for it (so not for now). Then the zve1 has better stability and way better low light performance and dynamic range but seems to overheat. Also I don't need so many vlogging features like cinemativ mode or easy to use overlay and the question is if more low light is more important than having more lights with the fx30. I do know my craft to some degree by now. Do you have a good advice? I know with good lighting everything can look good also apsc but buying and carrying these lights is also to consider. And there are also the a7cii and a7iv with other cons. Thank you for you good videos in gernerall by the way 😊I hope you can help me. (I'm definitely video first person, and I do videos style like gawx and life if riza)
If Sony uses the IMX366 44Mp sensor - it can hit 15 -25 fps. I would be ok with that - If they toss in full 4k/60 this camera will be an instant hit
I'm pretty confident the a7v will have really fast readout and at least 20fps electronic shutter. When the a7iv came out, they couldn't add that because it would've instantly killed the 4500$ a9ii which only did 20fps. Now that the a9iii is out and the a1ii is almost out, there's no chance putting 20fps in the a7v will compete with the speed offered by those.
Also on the way are a7S4 and FX3II. In general, interesting updates await us. I am waiting for the 24-105mm PZ version lens. I hope Sony will make one
I love my a7iv. I only wish it had a front light that shows me when it's recording and flashes when I'm running out of storage.
Never had a over heating problem on the A7-4 and I live in SoCal with temps over 40C
Mine overheat every time i shoot in 4k60🥲 and i live in canada so we dont have too much heat here🤷♂️
I am depending on A7R5 and A7 Mark 5. So, waiting until this camera would be great if Sony continued to have all the other features would be great! But, the cropping is a pain.
All that matters is that they keep the dynamic range. Sony do not fuck this up.
I think the A74 was the camera that made the others take notice and create/build better newer cameras to compete with the A74,i got mine boxing week of 2021 the first week it was available, maybe they just haven't used the sensor to its full capability and could continue to capitalize on it like a bit of better video and more fps for fast sports or bird photography, I think 12-15 fps in full RAW would be awesome, it only does 6 or 7 fps raw now, fix up the rolling shutter some how would be great, I have no issue with the auto focus or tracking so far, I would love to upgrade to the new A75 body , i just do not think i need it currently and if it comes with most of the new features that everyone in the comments and the youtube world want it will not be cheap and everybody will wine about the price , you want new features you pay up, the original A74 price in Canada was $3299.00plus taxes so this new A75 could be $3700.00 which is a good price for all the features everyone wants and will pay the price 👍great video Jason
4k60 no crop. 45mp. cfxpress. Super 35/CMZ. Swivel screen. Touchscreen. full HDMi port. Cinetone 10bit. IBIS. Ventilation to prevent overheating. Discard 30 min recording. Internal ND Filter. At the least if it's gong to be $3k price range
Hi Jason Morris,
As someone who loves the a7 series. But doesn’t have one. Should I wait for the a7V to release or just go for the a7IV right now.
My wishlist based on my A7 IV:
1. Better Display
2. BETTER Display
3. BETTER DISPLAY!!!
4. Stable Wireless Tethering with PC/Smartphone
5. Improved Autofocus (should be no brainer)
6. Global Shutter (just to get rid of big flashes)
I just switched to sony not long ago
and i have 2 of the a7cii
i am very happy with them and the plan in to get 2 of the a75 to go along with them
i do weddings photography and videography and this setup is plenty
oh nice. Same sensor as the A7 IV and it really does perform nice
Faster readout BSI 24mp, 33mp means you’d have to put in a stacked sensor aka like the A9ii, for rolling shutter sensors the smaller megapixel ones will always have a faster readout if all the tech behind it is equal or similar, people here aren’t understanding the tech behind it.
In summary, unless Sony found a way to reduce the cost of making stacked sensors, its gonna be several orders more expensive than the A74.
At the beginning few seconds you show a before and after shot on the A7iv
What was the reference with that? Before and after what?
It will be the same specs as nikon z6 iii with a little bit extra. Dual card recording and also able to record straight to the external ssd🤞
Actually A7IV with faster sensor read out will be quite enough to convince me and a lot of other Sony user as well as believe. This will ultimately mean: 4k/60 no crop and of course no line skipping or BP, 20FPS for stills. Actually I do not care much if it is 24mp or 33mp. What would be more interesting is whether it is going to have different base iso for SLOG3 - (800/3200) I would like to see (800/6400) if this is the case I'd sell my ZV-E1 and just stick to the A7 V as a good hybrid. If not I'd rather keep my ZV-E1 for low light ISO 12800 capabilities.
Give it stacked a7riii sensor, raw rec, open gate
I’d personally like 1/48 shutter speed. They could do it easy.
Sony A7Siv or FX3ii for me. Otherwise the R5ii if it were to jump ship... that thing is serious impressive.
FX3 II will be an epic camera for sure
What the guess on when it comes out?
Ok so at the beginning shot before and after does that mean raw then edited orrrrr I’m like trying to figure out what that was
We’re getting a Sony A7V before we get the FX3 ii ?? I’m waiting for Sony to drop the small compact camera with internal ND
When will the A7V be announced?
the screen would be a game changer
Would love to see 128gb internal storage, better ergonomics, improved evf, and better low light capabilities.
I want 4k/120/10 bit, even if huge crop.
Dynamic range improvement focus, maybe with ai denoise would be cool
the A7 IV has the highest dynamic range in the Sony Alpha cameras already
I have the A7IV & A7R3 as my backup I need the 60fps uncropped
I'm just waiting impatiently for the FX3 Mark ii, any idea when???
I’ll take the A75 as my perfect hybrid shooter
4k60 4k120 with no crop would be awesome and the AI that's in the 6700 would be great. Shutter angel would be huge too, Sony has to come up with the goods as Lumix is fast catching up. With their open gate and recording to ssd, also Lumix cost is way under Sony's. I'm so tempted to moving back to Lumix next year. One other thing is Lumix puts out so much more than Sony when it comes to firmware up dated on their camera's. As for Sony they rather you buy the upgraded camera body, that's just not good enough !!
rolling shutter ,a73 has better shutter in video than a74, and 12bit for video ,it will be epic
yeah rolling shutter/faster readout is definitely key here
I think most of what you mentioned will be in there
judging from the a7cii that came couple of years after the a74
if we think of it as a sequence then the new a75 will be a combination of the a74 and the features of the a7cii such as the AI plus (hopefully) the fully articulated higher resolution screen) and I will be happy just with that to be honest
if they add an open gate and/or a no crop 4K i would chuck a party
yeah open gate and no crop slow motion would be pretty key
Jason, Influencers like you not complaining to Sony about the useless ibis algorythm used in their cameras for years is major issue!
Must have at a MIN, 4k120, Pre Capture, and at the very least, a Blackout-Free, 5760k-Dot EVF. Otherwise it's already light years behind what everyone else will be doing in their Next Camera Releases.
I had a a7iv and it used to overheat constantly!
Its need to be 4k NO CROP at least , wtf with those comment just stuck at 4k 60 no drop ?
My son is in college and is taking photography and wants to do it professionally.. I want to get him a really great camera not sure if the a7v is going to be better then a7rv.. i was about to purchase the a7rv today ..I don’t know much about cameras if you could please help me
Sony a7 v will not be better than a7 rv. that thing is a beast. a7 v is lower price range line. it could be on pair in videography department but for photography a7 rv is impossible to beat.
@ Ty you! We went with the a7 rv
@@sylvesterrueda7346 that is amazing camera. probably the best there is for photography. I wish you both luck with that.
You know how I know the A7V is gonna be a great camera? Because the A7IV was a great camera, they'll only add some features to keep everyone exited that most of us don't even need.
Hopefully going to be a good option for us A7 IV users
they have to update A7SIII first before A7V . just saying :)
Can we expect a price drop on a7iv to buy in 2025 for 1600 usd ?
All I need is a stacked sensor. Otherwise, it's no no.
I'm a little confused. I have the A7RV what's the difference? I'm a little new on this.
R series is basically focused on photography due to its more number of megapixels.
right now the A7RV is a 61mp camera primarily focus on pictures, the low light ability and dynamic range is lower and the read-out speed is slower because of the focus on megapixels.
the A7iv (and probably A7V) is a 33mp camera which is better has a hybrid camera because it has better low light/dynamic range and rolling shutter speed
I want baked in JPEG LUT's and a JPEG shooting mode that automatically backs up images to your Google Photos or iCloud Photo account when on wifi.
All I want is bird eye AI and decent 15FPS shooting + faster refresh rate
Starting with an A7SIII makes it hard to stomach anything higher than 8.7ms rolling shutter. Heck, I wasn't even fully satisfied with A7SIII rolling shutter performance. It is good, but far from perfection (A9III). I also have an A7Rv which has horrendous rolling shutter in some modes like crop mode 4K@24fps and 8K.
Get off your high horse, the only full sensor rolling shutter sensor with a faster readout is the Arri full frame one.
@@JojoJoget Maybe I made a documentary film using 4K@120fps at extreme macro of a total of 7x and had some jello effect issues? Also the Venice 2 is less than 3ms. It's truth, just depends if it affects you or not. Nothing beats global shutter, and I don't own one... yet.
Rolling shutter of the A7SIII earns 4.5 stars, and for A7Rv at binned 4K at 15ms it's 4 stars. Something like 8K or 4K cropped at around 30ms that's simply 2.5-3 stars.
@@Bo_Hazem I would guess if it will keep the same 33mp sensor they will improve the rolling shutter to at least 18ms.
@@vorjay Maybe it's time to go full stacked in all their sensors. They make stacked sensors for Panasonic then they just undercut them. Same goes with Nikon. If they can undercut you, then sure you can do even better for your own cameras.
Estou juntando dinheiro pra comprar uma.. mas estou na dúvida entre a Sony A7iV e a Panasonic Lumix s5IIx! E aí, qual é a híbrida melhor pra trabalhos de fotos (quadros) e vídeos (institucionais)?
a7v - basically the a7iv with anamorphic desqueeze
24-35mp fast sensor for full width 4k60. Idk what else people want. Cropped 4k60 will but cut it
I would like 20 FPS Raw, 30 FPS jpeg, dust screen protector, and a flip screen away from the camera body
Sony fkd up when they listened to those complaining about wanting a higher mp sensor in the a7 iv. For fk sake, if y’all want a higher MP. Get the A7 R series and stop botching the A7 series. We got a higher MP count in exchange for what? Worse rolling shutter, worse mechanical fps, overheating, and the list goes on. All they had to do was make speed, color, efficiency, and more functionality improvements and the A7 IV would have been really good. The A9 III literally has 24 MP and is a really good camera and Sony really dropped the ball by not implementing such mentality when designing the A7 IV. Car manufacturers and build the biggest most powerful engines but what good is it if the rest of the components can’t even handle the power, heat, and stress caused by the engine? In this case, what’s the point in Sony putting in a higher MP sensor if the rest of the camera can’t even keep up (i.e. cooling, reading out the sensor fast enough, rolling shutter, mechanical fps, buffer, etc.)
